More than half of UK citizens support a referendum on a possible exit from the European Union by 2017.

According to a new poll, 58 percent of Britons believe that the proposed referendum by Prime Minister David Cameron would be worth it. Meanwhile, 34 percent said the economy would become better if Britain exits the EU. Cameron put forward the referendum proposal as part of his plans to revise the terms of Britain’s EU membership, including greater autonomy in defining national migration policy. The poll also showed that nearly 70 percent of UK residents want a bigger role in decision-making on laws, taxes, public spending and planning.
